RUTHENIUM ON RUTILE CATALYTIC SYSTEMS, USE THEREOF FOR AQUEOUS PHASE HYDROGENATION

摘要

An essentially nickel- and rhenium-free catalyst is described comprising ruthenium on a titania support where the titania is greater than 75 % rutile. A catalytic system containing a nickel-free catalyst comprising ruthenium on a titania support where the titania is greater than 75 % rutile, and a method using this catalyst in the hydrogenation of an organic compound in the aqueous phase is also described.
